Mensabrands

Mensa Brands (now operating as BRND.ME) is a Bangalore, India based "house of brands" / digital-first brand aggregator founded in 2021 by Ananth Narayanan. Following the Thrasio model, it acquires, operates and scales digital-native consumer brands across fashion, beauty, personal care, home and general merchandise, selling through marketplaces such as Amazon, Flipkart and Myntra as well as direct-to-consumer channels. The company reached unicorn status in 2021 and is backed by investors including Norwest Venture Partners, Accel, Prosus Ventures, Tiger Global and Alpha Wave. Its original domain mensabrands.com now redirects to brndme.in. This is a consumer-brands operating company; enrichment found no public developer or API surface (no docs/developer/api subdomains, no /.well-known documents, no llms.txt) beyond the marketing site's WordPress CMS, so no API artifacts were produced.

Mensabrands is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Ecommerce, Consumer Brands, House of Brands, and Direct to Consumer.
